What will happen in the Chainsaw Man anime?
Crunchyroll describes the plot of the anime as follows as follows: “Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.
“One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as ‘Chainsaw Man’ – a man with a devil’s heart.”
Ryū Nakayama (of Black Clover and Jujutsu Kaisen fame) will be directing the anime, and Hiroshi Seko (of Attack on Titan: The Final Season) is penning the script. Kazutaka Sugiyama (of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation) will be designing the characters.
Asa Suehira, the chief content officer at Crunchyroll, said: “With dark humor, dynamic characters, and a sharp story, Chainsaw Man is one of the most anticipated new series this year, and we are wickedly excited to bring it to fans on the Crunchyroll service.
“Anime fans will be up all night thinking about the spectacular visuals and high-octane action.”
